Highlights
Pet care experience
Make pet care a walk in the park!
I fostered to adopt my dog through Ruff Start Rescue, raised and trained Hunting/Sport dogs in my childhood and adulthood, and actively engage in clicker training with my dog and friends’ dogs that are seeking support with obedience or other training. Walking, feeding, bathing, and enrichment are just a few of my specialities! I have cared for dogs, cats, farm animals, fish, and reptiles throughout my life.

Safety, trust & environment
My dog is restricted to the main floor of the house during the day and has access to food, water, and enrichment opportunities while I am at work. When home he is free to roam the home and is treated like another member of the family. My home does not have a fenced in yard and as I am renting, I do not have the ability to care for animals overnight in my home. However, when entering others homes I carry the same mentality as when I am camping, hunting, or fishing: Leave No Trace. Rover is an opportunity for me to assist others in pet care and being trustworthy is one of those principles of this type of work. My career as a Mental Health Professional makes me value and honor individuals’ homes, privacy, and the vulnerability that is given by requesting Rover services. Unless I am hired to spend time within the home, I will do everything I can to make my coming/goings as scarce and least disruptive as possible. I pride myself on transparent communication about pick-up’s, returns, my arrival, my departure, and what (if anything) was utilized or needed to be cleaned up.
Ratings and reviews
Callie did great with our kitten! Her updates included good info and we enjoyed all the photos sent as well. Unfortunately our kitten had an accident on her and the floor and despite this she managed it well and cleaned up the area well for us too (we could not tell where it even happened).
Callie was such an amazing, thoughtful, and intentional caregiver for my lil baby!! Absolutely wonderful with both pet care and other home tasks (e.g., plants, vacuum maintenance) and gives such adorable and informative report cards. I cannot recommend her enough and am thrilled to have her as a caregiver any time!
Absolutely terrific. What a true gift to our fur babies…
Callie was a lifesaver. She helped me out last minute and did such an amazing job. She was so attentive and went above and beyond!!
Callie was amazing! I submitted a last-minute drop-in request for both my dog and cat, and she was incredibly accommodating. She took the time to make sure both pets were cared for and provided updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I appreciated that she also made sure my cat’s needs were met. It’s clear that Callie genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book with Callie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsive pet sitter.
Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.

Schedule
I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8-5 but I am available to care for other’s furry family members in the evenings on weekdays and have all-day availability on weekends. I can, on case by case basis, provide a 30 minute drop-in or walk over my lunch break hour. My own dog is walked morning and night and receives enrichment activities during the day while I am at work. We do lots of hiking, clicker training, and socialization. We frequent the dog park on the weekends or afternoons where the weather is cooperating.
